I built a wall
A vertiginous wall

I stacked the bricks one by one
The mortar binding them was invincible, I thought

I built that wall until it became a fortress,  
Surrounding me
Protecting me

And you came, a marvel of a storm
Sundered the mortar and tore my wall

Yet a foot I kept
Upon the ground, upon a brick.
